You guys are a breath of fresh air!

I am so thankful to have this podcast! I am one of those older PT’s who taught fear based, movement avoidant strategies. I am so happy to learn that healthy spines move in all directions. I have changed my approach thanks to you all! Keep making us all better PT’s!
Jen_ultraPT

Informative and engaging

This podcast is my go to physical therapy podcast when I want to listen to something that will help me with my clinical practice. They have done a great job of pulling together so many relevant topics, guest speakers, and putting together their own discussions to provide the best available information. I’m too busy to do a lot of the work in staying current with the literature, so it’s really nice to have a resource to listen to while I’m doing other things to make me think a little more critically about my clinical decisions. Thanks so much!

baseball episode

The hall of fame pitcher you mentioned is Bob Feller, not Bob Feeler.
only know english

Knowledge, but

They have a lot of head knowledge, not a lot of clinical or world experiences. On numerous occasions, I have observed them quoting research, but not verbalizing clinical reality. They need a seasoned therapist to round out their knowledge.

Great Podcast

Love that your emphasis is on exercise and appropriate and progressive loading and prioritize that over passive modalities (such as US) that are not research supported and not the best use of time in the clinic.
22brandiann

Expands my mind and gives me hope!

This podcast has been the first thing to challenge my way of thinking after years of uncertainty with my health due to injuries and advice that often left me confused or hopeless. Each episode I’ve listened to has expanded my mind and brought me hope for the longevity of my health! I love sharing this podcast with friends and young athletes I work with to help expand their thinking and give them hope within their health too.
Nemmrac

Great, Educational Podcast

I love this podcast. I have learned a lot and Dillon Caswell is an excellent host. I would love an episode about Iliotibial Bamd Syndrome and another about Extensor Tendonitis on the foot. Thank you for such a great podcast with so much education.
Kjauf

Alexzzzzk

I tell all my friends about it!

I was really lucky to find this podcast because for a long time I struggled to find consistent, relevant, and leading edge information. The quality of these podcast are next level, I started tuning in when Dillon began hosting, and they’ve become AMAZING! Honestly, I thought you guys were reading my mind, but soon the episodes were about things I should’ve been asking sooner. You guys have a GREAT host, GREAT guests, and absolutely GREAT information. Thank you Prehab guys for everything you do!

They’re setting the tone for the future of physical therapy through how accessible they make themselves. They really are for the people! You guys are the best!!

Fantastic!

As a massage therapist I have gotten so much from this podcast. Thank you for sharing and engaging the way you all do. I’ve shared this podcast with clients quite a bit, specifically the RICE v. METH for treating injuries. Keep I t up!
R. Shenigo

Love this podcast

I look forward to listening to the new podcasts. The Prehab squad provide excellent and knowledgeable information for everyone. Charismatic crew with a purpose. Great listen!
uscdpt24

informative and engaging!

Whether you’re an expert in movement science or just starting out, you should give these podcasts a listen! As a DPT student, I love to listen to these podcasts on the road or on a walk. A great aide to my education and never fails to keep me interested!
egarcia89

Top Notch Podcast if you’re interested in controlling your health!!

I’ve known about the Prehab guys for years, and have followed all of their content on social media. I’ve also purchased several of their online programs for my neck and back and they have made me realize how capable I am in managing my own injuries. It’s incredibly liberating to know there’s resources out in the world like this. The podcast is no different. Absolutely awesome knowledge about the body, injuries and how to take better care of my aging body. I’ve always felt the medical model makes people reliant on “expertise” to find healing. These guys give you all he tools to be your own doctor. That is true medicine. That is true healing. Can’t thank these guys enough.

Consistent great info, easy to digest!

The Prehab Guys have consistently put out excellent, easy to digest info about topics in the (sometimes misinterpreted) world of health/wellness/exercise. They do an excellent job of conveying pertinent exercise info to newcomers, all the way to kinesiology student and seasoned, long time active people. The podcast series is a great source for all, and should be closely followed!

Advice You Can Actually Use

If you are in anyway interested in keeping yourself healthy and avoiding costly PT bills this podcast is amazing. As long as you can get over Craigs Jersey accent you’ll definitely learn a lot about how to strengthen your body to prevent injuries and reinforce the muscles you need to keep any preexisting injuries from relapsing. I have a back injury and I always get great advice on new fun ways to strengthen my core to keep my back from getting injured again.

Best Perspective Yet

This is the most condensed (and only) podcast you need to listen to for applying to PT school! Thanks for all the help and to Mike for further answering my questions through email!
Kudnkmvzsr

Love your work

I have followed you guys for a few years now. As an athlete myself and personal trainer I love all of your work. Your Instagram and emails have added so much to my client experience and I can’t say thank you enough. I have never been a podcast girl but I am now. I ran 17 miles this morn and listened to the spartan race episode and really enjoyed it! Best take away: Coach Ryan said, “I am contagious.” Yes ! That is just what a coach needs to be and your work is just that. Thanks for adding even more with your podcasts ! I’ll be listening !

Freshhh

As a new grad I feel like I’ve finally reached ground zero in my physical therapy knowledge, where as before I was working in the negatives. Now I’m at the point where I can start to reach out and further expand my knowledge with these great topics. This podcast is great for continual information that any therapist can utilize to continue to grow in their practice!!

Review

Great podcast but you really need to fix your sound issues.
Douglas_L

Great information!

It’s really cool to get insight from doctors about surgeries and injuries and hear conversations that you typically wouldn’t get access to. Very easy to understand as well for the average person!
uclamikey90

I love the Prehab Guys

So happy that you guys finally started a podcast! I love watching all of your videos on social media, and I’ve been waiting to have an audio version of many of the talks you have on here. This is the best use of my time to learn about my body and how to Prehab it for life!!
